my cthulhu game

Chapter 219 Who is the enemy, who is the boss, and who is the friend?
I, Gorp, half-Shoggoth.

When I saw the other person's face, I realized that I might be in big trouble.

"Mr. Chen?"

"Fortress of Sanity" is all too familiar to me.

I secretly filled out the game test qualification application form of "Fortress of Sanity" (in order to increase the probability of being selected, I used multiple hidden identities, after all, I can change faces at will; the dream witch, Mr. Shani did not find this (events) and couldn’t help but think: Perhaps, they, like us, regard the return of many old rulers as their ultimate ideal.

Boss Shani said that the mysterious "Fortress of Sanity" is likely to be the same as our Shoggoths, relying on a normal operating human company, and the actual dominator of the company is a powerful non-human existence.

According to our existing intelligence analysis, the race behind this scene may be Yisi people.But the high-profile style of "Fortress of Reason" is quite different from Isis.

Mr. Shani believes that the virtual reality of "Fortress of Sanity" may be designed to spread more occult knowledge.

In this case, the two of us can coexist peacefully at present, and my approach is not considered collaborating with the enemy.

But now, I suddenly feel that things are not as simple as I imagined...

"It's me. Hello." Mr. Chen Qiang said.

... If I didn't see him in this situation, I really want to yell "Mr. Chen, I want to play a game"!
Calm down, Gup, calm down.

The Bastion of Sanity hides the Old One.But Chen Qiang, the boss on the stage, I didn't feel the breath of the ancient from him.

Is the entire "Fortress of Sanity" company under the control of the ancients, or is that ancient just one of their technicians?

If it is the former, then Mr. Shani will have a headache; but if it is the latter, then there is still room for maneuver between our Shoggoths and the "Fortress of Sanity".

In Shani's view, all remaining Old Ones must be disposed of by the Shoggoths.

I don't think it makes sense to do this—maybe it's because I haven't lived hundreds of millions of years...

I don't know if Billy is still alive.I even began to pray in my heart that Billy was dead—then I could negotiate with the "Fortress of Sanity" in an open and aboveboard manner, and let them hand over the elders they sheltered on the condition that we don't pursue Billy's death.

But if Billy is captured by them, then it will be difficult for us to make a condition. After all, in their view, it is unreasonable for us to be the first to attack.

……

"Gep?" Seeing that the black brother's expression changed from place to place, but he didn't change his body, Chen Qiang called out his name tentatively.

Is this guy thinking about Mao?

[Chen Qiang's charm check with punishment succeeded 20/33]

???

What the hell is this test checking for?

Dude you have brains... well, shoggoths don't seem to have brains.What is your shoggoth thinking about?

……

"Gup."

Mr. Chen called out my name.His approach was both indifferent and confident, just like Mr. Shani's usual shouting, with the temperament of a superior who knows everything in his chest.

At this time, I am convinced that the other party must not be an ordinary human being, but a noble existence like Mr. Shani.

"Mr. Chen." I bowed my head obediently.

Our world is also a world of the jungle.Even shoggoth lords clash with each other over territory, let alone alien races.

"Fortress of Sanity" has extraordinary technology.As the biggest boss of the fortress of sanity, Mr. Chen must possess terrifying power.In front of Mr. Chen, I'd rather be the best policy.

We shoggoths are good at staying alive (to use my favorite game term, very meaty and have high defense), but the speed problem of shoggoths makes us never good at running away.

The full moon hangs high.

To my surprise, Mr. Chen put on a weird pose.When I was working fishing (Mr. Shani didn't know), I once watched an animation called Lu Luxiu, and his current poses are very similar to that Lu Luxiu's second-year-old child.

[Gap Psychology Test 16/25 success]

……

Chen Qiang had a cold face.

Mr. Shaney, my employees are still mine, and your employees will soon be mine, along with the secret.

Rolling dice alone is not reliable.In most cases, charm skills cannot be used against completely hostile creatures. Although I don't know why this time is an exception, Chen Qiang doesn't want to bet the opponent's loyalty on a charm check.

The sanity pool consumed by the move of "Bie Tian Shen" is related to the sanity lost by witnessing mythical creatures. Unlike his terrifying compatriots, it only needs 10 sanity pools to control Gup.

"I give this order in the name of Chen Qiang——" Chen Qiang, who was wearing a translation headset, said in flute language.After processing the sound of ancient poetry, Chen Qiang now only needs to whisper into the translation headset, and the mobile phone will instantly "translate" his words loudly.

"Wait..." Gerp, who was successful in psychology, suddenly had a very bad feeling. The invisible aura on the other party even surpassed his master, Mr. Shani.

How to do?
Attack first?
Gepp's choice was very decisive.

Qin Yixian and Mrs. Meghan were dumbfounded.

Chen Qiang and the black man suspected of being a Shoggoth looked at each other for a few seconds, called each other a few times, and then the black man turned around and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat!
But unlike Lu Luxiu, the "Between God" given to Chen Qiang by the system does not need to look into the eyes to work...

[Current sanity pool: 147]

"...surrender to the fortress of reason." Ge Pu heard Chen Qiang's words clearly.

……

In ghoul night school.

Mr. Pickman is still explaining to his ghoul trainees what "Gourd Baby Saves Grandpa" is.

"Who is the gourd baby?" asked a particularly short ghoul.

"Gourd baby is... you can understand it as... some messengers of the old gods," Mr. Pickman said seriously nonsense in order to facilitate the students' understanding, "there are seven of them in total, but when their summoners are kidnapped by the enemy After they left, they went to rescue people one by one, and were defeated one by one by the enemy. Later, seven of them rushed forward, and the enemy was quickly defeated."

"Oh..." All the ghouls seemed to understand.

"This story teaches us: to deal with the enemy together, don't attack them one by one. In short, this is just a metaphor. The Calabash Man is just an animated character, so don't pay special attention to it."

"What is animation?" A ghoul asked timidly.

Just when Pickman resisted the urge to continue explaining, his cell phone rang a text message.

"Is it Elizabeth again?"

Pickman remembered that the shop girl had called back just a few hours earlier.Elizabeth finally got in touch with the man who claimed to be Chen Jian (Chen Qiang was still escorting Billy at that time), and "Chen Jian" chose to contact Pickman himself on the campus of the University of Michigan, and no one else saw him.

It was a text message sent by Arkham city officials.
